How Our Coaching and Counseling Services Work

Our coaching and counseling services are tailored to fit the needs of our individual clients. Our coaches typically talk with their client once a week on the phone or personal visit and will communicate via email with them on a regular basis. The vast majority of our clients enjoy the convenience of phone-coaching sessions. We typically structure a one-on-one meeting at the beginning and mid-points of our coaching process. We will then have regular weekly phone contacts about thirty minutes to one-hour in length over a six month period.

Our clients also typically complete one or more helpful assessment inventories and will be provided confidential feedback on observations of those they work with via surveys or interviews. Our clients bring an agenda into each session, and their coach helps them examine their issues and assists them in creating a plan to reach a timely solution so they can reach their goals. Since a coach has ongoing personal contact with their client, they are capable of helping them continually set higher standards for themselves over time.

Most of our coaching is done on the phone, but face-to-face sessions are available (check with us for details). Clients are free to call us when necessary between their appointments for support and advice on specific issues. In addition, clients have unlimited access to their coach through e-mail. We also offer generous group rates to companies who have multiple executives who want to be coached.
